Which medication may have an ototoxic effect on the preterm infant?
 
  a. Furosemide c. Caffeine
  b. Morphine d. Ampicillin

Question 2

With regard to small for gestational age (SGA) infants and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), nurses should be aware that:
 
  a. In the first trimester diseases or abnormalities result in asymmetric IUGR.
  b. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and devel-opment.
  c. In asymmetric IUGR, weight will be slightly more than SGA, whereas length and head circumference will be somewhat less than SGA.
  d. Symmetric IUGR occurs in the later stages of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 1

A
In the preterm neonate, furosemide can be ototoxic, not only as a medication alone but in conjunction with the NICU environment. Morphine, caffeine, and ampicillin do not pose ototoxic effects.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A IUGR is either symmetric or asymmetric. The symmetric form occurs in the first trimester; SGA infants have reduced brain capacity. The asymmetric form occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. Weight is less than the 10th percentile; head circumference is greater than the 10th percentile. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and development.
B IUGR is either symmetric or asymmetric. The symmetric form occurs in the first trimester; SGA infants have reduced brain capacity. The asymmetric form occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. Weight is less than the 10th percentile; head circumference is greater than the 10th percentile. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and development.
C IUGR is either symmetric or asymmetric. The symmetric form occurs in the first trimester; SGA infants have reduced brain capacity. The asymmetric form occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. Weight is less than the 10th percentile; head circumference is greater than the 10th percentile. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and development.
D IUGR is either symmetric or asymmetric. The symmetric form occurs in the first trimester; SGA infants have reduced brain capacity. The asymmetric form occurs in the later stages of pregnancy. Weight is less than the 10th percentile; head circumference is greater than the 10th percentile. Infants with asymmetric IUGR have the potential for normal growth and development.
